Script: [v13+] Unreal Time System (like Minecraft)

Callmefreak said:

I don't know if you're the one to ask, or if this is a thing I could do without your script, but since I am using your script I'm going to try to ask here first.

Would it be possible to make switches based on a certain time of day? Like how there's "s:PBDayNight.isDay?" but specifically for a certain hour of the day? Like if I wanted to have an event happen specifically at 2 PM, for example?
And if so, do you happen to have the numbers for every hour at 12 AM for 24 hours handy? (Like 12 AM, 1 AM, etc.) It's not a big deal if not. I can figure that out on my own.

s:pbGetTimeNow.hour==14

Yes! Just change the switch name. Example (for 2 PM):

Code:

s:pbGetTimeNow.hour==14

Number range is 0-23. This works even without my script.

I ran into a bug, but it was easy to fix:

I was using "UnrealTime.advance_to(H,M,S)" to create an event that would let you sleet to morning, noon, evening, midnight (similar to how Legends Arceus time works). However, if I set the arguments to (12,0,0) for noon, it wasn't getting jumped to the right time. (seemed to always be less added seconds that it should be.)

I did some digging, and I found the issue. Within "self.advance_to", you had the line "$PokemonGlobal.newFrameCount+=seconds_added". I compared this to your "self.add_seconds" method and saw a stark difference: "$PokemonGlobal.newFrameCount+=(seconds*Graphics.frame_rate)/PROPORTION.to_f"

So, instead, I replaced your line "$PokemonGlobal.newFrameCount+=seconds_added" with "self.add_seconds(seconds_added)" since it would be doing the same thing, and bingo! Everything works now!

Something to consider for your next update.

Hello, I wanted to make a mechanic that when Dialga uses Roar of Time you can time travel. I want to keep the rate at which time passes the same as real time(hours/minutes), but I wanted something that would allow the player to change the date and time once the player obtains Dialga and uses Roar of Time. This way the player can change the date to go to a certain season or go from day to night to find certain Pokemon/events. Feels like this is sort of a new UI/feature, but I was wondering if anyone can help with this? I've asked before and I've been referred to this thread though unreal time engine isn't exactly what I'm trying to do, but it's close. This would rather be something that when the player uses the move a menu appears to go to a certain day and time.

Hey there, first of all this works pretty great. Having a better Timewindow for day and night, made a sleeping option that lets you skip to 00:00/06:00/12:00/18:00 o'clock like in Arceus Legends, wonderful.

Since i can't completly understand the whole script i need a little help. How do i easily paste the current hour into a game variable?
I tried it with $gamevariables[99] = pbGetTimeNow.hour or putting it into a temp variable first but it gives me an error. I prob can put it in the script directly but i dont know where.
I wanna make an overworld clock that changes hours reading the game variable
Would be great if someone could help ^^

Hey, I hope this thread is still alive, I have an issue. I'm using GSC essentials on 18v and since thsis version changes day an night using tilesets the graphics only update when going in an out of the map, is there a way to fix that? because using this:

if UnrealTime::TIME_STOPS
class Scene_Map
alias :updateold :update
def update
$PokemonGlobal.addNewFrameCount
updateold
if !@lastHour || @lastHour != pbGetTimeNow.hour
@lastHour = pbGetTimeNow.hour
$game_map.need_refresh = true
end
end

didn't work :(

    if Graphics.frame_count % (40*UnrealTime::TONE_CHECK_INTERVAL).floor == 0
      shouldUpdate = false
      for map in $MapFactory.maps
        next if !map
        tileset_name = map.tileset_name
        map.updateTileset
        shouldUpdate = true if map.tileset_name != tileset_name
      end
      if shouldUpdate
        disposeSpritesets
        createSpritesets
      end
    end

I didn't test in GSC kit but I guess that this will work: Before the last line 'updateSpritesets' in Scene_Map, add code

Code:

    if Graphics.frame_count % (40*UnrealTime::TONE_CHECK_INTERVAL).floor == 0
      shouldUpdate = false
      for map in $MapFactory.maps
        next if !map
        tileset_name = map.tileset_name
        map.updateTileset
        shouldUpdate = true if map.tileset_name != tileset_name
      end
      if shouldUpdate
        disposeSpritesets
        createSpritesets
      end
    end

Raise TONE_CHECK_INTERVAL for check/update more often.

After the script end add:

Code:

module UnrealTime
  MONTH_DAYS = 31
  MONTHS = 4
  INITIAL_YEAR = 1

  def self.day
    return total_days % MONTH_DAYS + 1
  end

  # Starts on 1
  def self.mon
    return (total_days/MONTH_DAYS) % MONTHS + 1
  end

  def self.year
    return total_days/(MONTH_DAYS*MONTHS) + INITIAL_YEAR
  end

  def self.total_days
    c_date = pbGetTimeNow 
    i_date = initial_date
    return (c_date.yday - i_date.yday) + ((c_date.year - i_date.year)*365.250001).floor
  end
end

Call 'UnrealTime.day', 'UnrealTime.mon' and 'UnrealTime.year' to get these values.

Hi, I realize this is from a while back, and maybe its not even spesifically relating to this, I am fairly new to this stuff so I feel like I am just missing something extremely obvious, but I'm tearing my hair out trying to figure out how to make a readable calendar using the unreal time script + this bit that makes the seasons harvest moon style. I just want to be able to check something on the wall that tells me what day, month and year it is but I can't seem to figure out how to do it

Click to expand...

pbMessage(pbGetTimeNow.strftime("%d %b %Y"))

pbMessage(pbGetTimeNow.strftime("%d/%m/%Y"))

pbMessage('%02d/%02d/%02d' % [UnrealTime.day, UnrealTime.mon, UnrealTime.year])
